Housepitality: Exceptional Stays, Every Time.

Summary:
Welcome to The Retro Sleepover Pad - location, luxury, and vibes! Our 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home is designed for a joyful stay. The Pad sleeps 6 and includes a stocked kitchen, walk-in shower, and is a prime location steps away from Seventh Son Brewery and Budd Dairy in the Italian Village. Unassuming on the outside, this home is updated inside featuring 90's throwbacks. Superb location in the city- close to Short North, downtown, Ohio State, Convention Center, and highways!

The Space:
Our house is perfect for small groups, families, couples, and solo travelers. It is great for a fun night out with friends or a home base for exploring Columbus. The first floor has an open living room and dining room great for relaxing, as well as a half bath and fully stocked kitchen. Upstairs is a full bathroom with walk-in shower. At one end of the house is the main bedroom with a queen bed and a desk. Down the hallway on the other side of the bathroom is the 2nd bedroom with 2 queen beds and a desk. Our location is central to the Short North area, and Downtown Columbus.

A recent guest wrote: "Perfect location if you’re looking to indulge in Columbus nightlife within walking distance. Budd Dairy Hall is right across the street with tons of good and drink options. Multiple bars and restaurants without walking distance and close to short north. Home is very charming and spacious. Who doesn’t love board games!?"

Guest Interaction:
The Housepitality hosting team is a full time crew of professionals that work together to provide an excellent experience for our guests. We are out and about all the time helping guests, and we are thrilled when we get a chance to help make someone's trip special. Just reach out at anytime!

Access:
Guests can access the entire house (including the basement laundry), and share the yard space with the white house next door.

Neighborhood:
Our Neighborhood of Italian Village is the most exciting part of Columbus! Our spot is on a main street that is historic in Columbus for once having electric street cars. We are just 3 doors south of Seventh Son Brewery, and very close to Drunch, Little Rock, Hoof Hearted, Food Hall, St. James Tavern, and many things coming soon! We are across the street from Cameron Mitchell's Food Hall with multiple incredible dining options. Just 10 min north of downtown Columbus and a few minutes to the interstate. 

The Retro Pad is on a busy street (4th Street) and we do not have reserved off-street parking. There are usually spots available on our street, but you may need to walk a block or so.

Transit:
Uber and Lyft are great in this area. Lime and Byrd scooters are another great option. Our street has a bike lane that can take you to most places in the city. There is a bus system with a stop close by.
